One of those things is the dual nature of chartering. Some are chartered by the federal government and are most oflen called "national- banks. Others receive their charters directly from their respective states. These are called "state" banks. Even though the charters come from different sources, services offered the customers may be virtually the same and the regulations eich operates are very similar.

Protections accorded depositers are the same. The dual system tame about in the early days of U.S. banking because of general opposition to a single, "national" banking syjlcm. This opposition to a central system created many strong state banks, so strong that until the 20lh century several state banks issued their own currency. The closest thing now lo a true national bank is the Federal Reserve System, which essentially acts as a bank's bank.

Both state and national banks maintain ccounts, make deposits and withdrawals from the Federal Reserve Bank in their particular region. Inserted Today by ifton Hill, SalUbury. iCeS 4 P.M.
